Impact
Visn Studio’s impact lies in transforming Detroit’s creative economy and empowering small brands through accessible, ethical manufacturing. By offering low-minimum production, it fills a critical gap for independent designers who often struggle to find reliable partners. Visn Studio’s long-term vision includes becoming a platform for opportunity, providing training and meaningful work for underrepresented individuals in the community.
Inspired by a commitment to reshoring garment manufacturing, Visn Studio is more than a factory—it’s a movement to foster growth, collaboration, and innovation. By building the foundation today, Visn Studio aims to scale into a major employer in Detroit, contributing to the city’s legacy of creativity and resilience while shaping its future.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000, Visn Studio will cover move-in costs for its first commercial space on Detroit’s historic Livernois Avenue of Fashion. This space will provide the foundation to scale production capabilities and expand services to include in-house branding, printing, and embroidery. Moving to this location will transform the business from a home-based operation into a professional facility, allowing for higher-volume orders, fostering stronger client relationships, and positioning Visn Studio to play a key role in Detroit’s creative economy. This step is essential for laying the groundwork for future job creation, community engagement, and long-term growth.
